This change is part of a merge commit that did not contribute anything
on its own (ie. there were no conflicts).  The changes it introduces are
identical in the merged branches, so there is no point in duplicating
the history that is already present in the merge parent.  In other
words, these two commands produce identical output:

git diff d38470869..d38470869^ -- lisp/cus-start.el
git diff d38470869^2..d38470869^^2 -- lisp/cus-start.el

The first gives the changes relative to the last merge commit on the
lexbind branch, the latter the changes between the last two merge
parents on the master branch.
